• • HOW TO HELP A FRIEND ■ • 

Doubtless you have a friend who is ambitious to succeed in life, 
but has neither the time nor money to pursue a regular college course. 
If you have such a friend you may be the means of making their 
future life a grand success, by calling their attention to the Union 
Business College of La Fayette, which has been the means of placing 
hundreds of young men and women in lucrative positions, in from six 
to nine months after they entered this college. This statement may 
appear ambiguous to some persons, but if they will call at the college 
office they can see for themselves where 85 per cent of the students 
who have graduated within the .past five years are employed. 

The following testimonials will show how busmess men appreciate 
a commercial college. 

We have in our employ as book-keeper, Mr. J. Walter Scott. He is a graduate of 
the Union Business College, and came direct from the college to our office, taking full 
charge of our books. We tnke pleasure in recommending the Union Business College. 

HUTCHENS BKO.'S NOTION CO. 

We have in our employ as book-keeper and stenographer. Miss Georgie Cable, a 
graduate of the Union Business College. It gives us pleasure to state that her ability 
to do the work so satisfactorily shows a thorough training while in the college,

We always lead the Furniture Trade in newness of design, 
in excellence of manufacture, and in the very low prices at 
which we sell the best goods. 

"TONY" CARPBTTS. 

FURNITURE and CARPETS go naturally together. We give to the Carpet 
trade constant study and attention, which it does not receive when run as a side issue to 
some other kind of business to which it bears no natural relation. We simply state what 
everybody already admits, when we say, no house in the city can show so clean, so 
stylish, so well-assorted and so cheap a line of new Carpets as that which we have on 
exhibition for Our Trade. We haven't an old piece of carpet in our entire stock, and there 
are none of the most celebrated makes of carpets but of which we carry a full stock. 
Inferior makes of these goods never find their way into our carpet room, merely because 
they cost a little less at wholesale, and therefore pay a little bigger profit at retail. Quality 
is always the first consideration with us, and should be with our customers. 

BABY CARRIAQES. 

This is another line of goods in which we are the most extensive dealers in the State. 
Put all the other stocks of Baby Carriages in this city together, and you would not have, 
even then, anything like the assortment of these goods we carry. Our prices on carriages, 
as on everything else we sell, are but little above the manufacturers' prices to us.

We keep constantly in stock over 200 different styles or patterns of Toilet Sets.

TO THE 

ALUMNI AND ALUMNA 

OF 

Purdue University 

THIS 

SOUVENIR 

IS 

DEDICATED. 




JOHN PURDUE. 



No gleaming shaft nor granite block^ 

Nor sculptured pile of cold, insensate stone, 

No chiseled epitaph of empty praise, 

Marks his last resting place. 

Hi77iself TV it ho lit a home, he reared a place 

Where Science might abide and Learning dwell ; 

Where Art should flourish long, and hold her court. 

And grant to every zvorsJiiper his meed. 



He sleeps — and toiv'' ring here above his couch, 
The products of his genius and /lis toil 
Speak louder far than wrought and figured stone. 
Of life zoell lived and labor nobly done. 





rpHE SOUVENIR is presented to a 



discriminating public with edito- 
rial fear and reportorial trembling. It 
has not been prepared in answer to any clamorous public demand, 
but with the single purpose of showing to students, alumni and 
the general public what a promising infant Purdue University is, 
upon the occasion of the fifteenth anniversary of the first commence- 
ment. The book and its contents have a local coloring, and will 
consequently be most appreciated by those who are or have been 
connected with the University. At the same time there is much 
that will be of interest to all. An attempt has been made to avoid 
trespassing upon the territory occupied by the college annual, and 
the editors hope that they have succeeded. 

The proper celebration of anniversaries is praiseworthy, and in • 
some cases approaches a duty. When the return of a loved anni- 
versary brings with it added cause for self-congratulation, the 
observance becomes a pleasant task. The Souvenir has been pre- 
pared under the auspices of one of the many college organizations, 
but it is nevertheless representative of all organizations, classes 
and departments. There has been no acid in the editorial ink, and 
certainly nothing has been inserted which can give offense to any 



A SOUVENIR. 

tions. John Purdue, by application and toil, amassed a fortune and then 
willingly gave it up, in the hope that the young men of the future might 
enjoy the advantages which unkind Fortune denied him. The people of 
Tippecanoe count}- caught the import and inspiration of John Purdue's 
beneficence. The tangible result is the Purdue University of to-day; 
the development, not the ultimate development of one man's idea. It 
has lived for sixteen }^ears; not always strong, but ever hopeful. Kne- 
mies have assailed the objects and methods of the University, but they 
have been met upon the threshold of debate by staunch and unfaltering 
friends, whose belief in Purdue's future was almost religious in its intens- 
ity. The state was tardy at times in its obligations to the struggling 
college, but made amends for past negligence \>y an enthusiastic and 
unanimous declaration of its future support and encouragement. The 
enemies of old have gracefully come over; the evil prophets have taken 
up more promising subjects, and on the occasion of the fifteenth anniver- 
sary of the first commencement, Purdue is complacent, self-reliant, con- 
fident. The pledged faith of the government and the state relieves all 
anxiety for the future. Five hundred students throng the halls and lab- 
oratories, instead of the sixt}^ of 1875. Fifteen 3'ears ago there were three 
college buildings; now there are seven. Fifteen years ago the meager 
attendance was largely from Tippecanoe county and adjoining counties; 
to-da}' every section of the United States is represented, and there are 
matriculates from Spain and Japan. Then there was but one course of 
study, and the curriculum was the subject of numerous experiments; to-day 
there are seven distinct schools. 

Why continue the antithesis ? Fifteen years ago, Purdue University 
consisted of three buildings partly furnished, a faculty of six persons, a 
nebulous curriculum, a little apparatus, sixt}- students, and a grand idea. 
For an explanation of what it is to-day we commend to your attention the 
following pages. 

. To students and alumni it will not linger in the memory as an aggre- 
gation of schools, supervised bj' a competent faculty. To them it will 
ever seem a home, a place endeared hy pleasant associations; the scene of 
battles fairly fought, victories modestl}^ won and defeats bravely met. 
The spoken name of the dear alma mater will bring to the student's mind, 
not so much the recollection of integral and differential calculus and other 
forms of mathematical diversion, as the gratifying memories of class pic- 
nics, society spreads, class day contests, facultj' receptions, junior entertain- 
ments, and that red-letter day at the Hoosier Athens, when the brave Wa- 
bash eleven went down before our giants, shrouded in the gloom of defeat.

SCHOOL OF 
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, 



y /N the last ten years the number of techni- 
cal schools has increased ten fold. We 
do not have to look far for the cause. In 
every city, town and hamlet are spring- 
ing up machine shops and foiindries. 
Every article around us is machine made. 
Whence came the designers and con- 
structors of these shops and this ma- 
chinery ? 

Formerly the designers, proprietors 
or superintendents arose from the ap- 
prentices, who spent years in the shops hammering 
iron, in order to learn how to design steam engines. 
For every hour's instruction the}' received, they 
worked a week for the proprietor. It took years to 
learn what systematic training would have given in 
months. The modern method of education is that 
pursued by the technical schools. Purdue Univer- 
sity has shops filled with full-sized tools from the 
best machine makers in the country. Students are kept in these schools 
just as long as the}' are receiving an education therein, and no longer. 
For this reason the shops are not made a source of revenue, a few articles 
onl}' being sold, to show the students that their work, when perfect, has a 
market value. 

During the first two years the student receives instruction in the pat- 
tern shop, the foundry and the machine shop. He is not put in these 
shops like a machine from which the maximum possible work is to be

obtained, but as a student to be instructed, and he is given just as mucb 
as he will absorb. Parallel with the shop course he studies mathematics, 
English and kindred subjects. 

During the Junior j^ear the student learns to analyze the machinery 
that has been surrounding him. He finds that a lathe is made up of 
such simple elements as pulleys, spur wheels, racks and screws. He 
learns how to design these and other elements, and the method of arrang- 
ing them so that he can transmit any required power, with any required 
motion in any machine. With other studies chemistry is taken up, and, 
by election, it may be pursued in the Senior year, thus obtaining the 
knowledge possessed by the technical chemist in any of our large refiner- 
ies or mills. In the Senior j'ear the student takes up the laws governing 
steam and its formation, boilers and their construction, engines and their 
management. He designs various kinds of valves, and at least one com- 
plete engine. He learns the laws governing the strength of materials of 
construction, and a short additional course would fit him as an architect. 

The laboratories are fitted with engines, testing machines, dj-namom- 
eters and other appliances, so that theory and practice are combined in 
the most approved manner. In the end, the memory has been strength- 
ened, the eye and hand trained, but, above all, the reasoning power has 
been developed to the highest possible extent.

SCHOOL OF SCIENCE. 



DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY. 




HE Special object of this department is 
1S3| to give thorough training in biolog- 
ical science. It is with this end in 
view that the laboratories have been 
equipped and the courses arranged. 
The required biological studies begin 
in the third term of the Freshman 
year in the School of Science and Ag- 
riculture, and are continued through 
the Sophomore year. In the Junior and Senior years the subjects are 
elective, with the exception of human physiology. The instruction 
throughout the course is in the form of lectures and laboratory work, 
supplemented largely by collateral readings. It is impossible to give a 
clear idea of the character of the work done within the limits of this arti- 
cle. Its extent may be measured somewhat from the fact that the stu- 
dent in botany has set apart for his study 870 hours, which, with the 
double electives in the Junior and Senior year, may be increased to 1,478 
hours. In zoology the time assigned is no hours less. 

The equipment of the laboratories, apart from the museum and her- 
barium, consists of forty-three compound microscopes, chiefly of the Beck 
and Bausch & lyomb makes, with batteries of objectives ranging from 
three-inch to one-twentieth-inch; micrometers; camera lucida; polarizers 
and all the attachments ordinarily required for laboratory work; a Bausch 
& Lomb microtome; twelve hand microtomes, water baths and all the 
apparatus needed for preparation of material for advanced histological 
work; the simpler apparatus for experimental work in plant and animal 
physiology; thirty-six dissecting microscopes of the Rothrock tj^pe, thirty 
dissecting sets, injecting apparatus, etc.; in brief, a fair equipment foi

work in all branches coming within the scope of the course. The labora- 
tories and museums occup}^ five rooms in the Main Building, and are 
fitted in the regulation manner. 

The department is greatly strengthened through the presence and by 
the assistance of the various specialists connected M'ith the staff of the 
Experiment Station. In practical biological training, laboratory work, 
extent of course and equipment, this department compares favorably with 
any in the West. The rapidly increasing number of electives is, perhaps, 
the best proof of its value.

CHEMICAL DEPARTMENT. 

No regular student of Purdue escapes a more or less extended so- 
journ in the chemical laborator3^ Usually it is the Junior who first tastes 
the delights of this retreat. The laboratorj^, half hidden behind the trees, 
engine house, hall, Peirce conservator^', etc., is not a prominent feature 
in the Purdue landscape. It lies apart from the daily haunts of the 
Freshman and Sophomore, and, when in September the Junior directs his 
steps thither, it is, literally and figuratively, to an unknown realm that 
he comes. The building itself is not imposing; the style of architecture 
may safely be called severe without danger of hurting anj^ one's feelings. 
The revolving affair upon the roof is not a graphic chemical formula, as 
some might suppose, but an apparatus for grinding up the wind and sup- 
plying it by telegraph to the Experiment Station. The funny little boxes 
upon the outside of the windows are not bird houses, nor are they pro- 
vided for the confinement of unrul}^ students. They are ventilators, in- 
tended for keeping the air of outdoors pure. If one puts a very bad 
smelling or fuming substance in these ventilators, only traces will escape 
into the open air. In this way the atmosphere of Purdue is kept pure. 

At the rear of the building one may ob.serve, without severe effort, 
a structure which gives the impression that the laboratory, in the process 
of growth, encountered an obstacle and flattened itself against the gas 
house. This represents the Renaissance period of the historj' of the build- 
ing, it being an addition lately provided for the School of Pharmacy. 

Within the building on the main floor one finds general and special 
laboratories, with desks for eighty students, store room, combustion room 
and director's office and laboratory. Here the Juniors wrest Nature's se- 
crets from her grasp three daj's in the week, and the Seniors, having be- 
come more expert at (w)resting, are able to bother the old lady during

four days of the week. Some others there are who struggle with great 
problems at all hours, and so one always meets with strange sights and 
sounds and smells within these precincts. A flight of stairs leads up to 
the exalted regions where students may commune with the Spirit of 
Chemistry. As many as forty may often be observed here, communing 
away with pencils and paper with great application. They do this be- 
cause they love to. Other objects of interest on this floor are the appa- 
ratus room, containing lecture and experimental appliances, and the bal- 
ance room, supplied with analytical balances. 

The history of this somewhat battered and dingy but still convenient 
laboratory is full of interest and merit. Beneath its roof were born and 
nurtured the departments of physics and mechanics. The building itself 
was one of the first to be erected on the campus, and the department is 
one of the oldest. Prof H. W. Wiley was the first occupant of the chair 
of chemistry, and builded wisely and worked industriously during his ten 
years of service, winning for himself and laboratory lasting recognition. 
Following him came two gentlemen, who left only less lasting impressions 
because holding their positions less time — Prof. R. B. Warder and Dr. J. 
U. Nef The latter was succeeded in i88g by Dr. W. E. Stone. The 
chemical department has played no small part in the history and growth 
of Purdue; it has its place, too, in the memories of the alumni. The stu- 
dent of the present forgets all this, perhaps, and thinks, ' ' Sufficient unto 
the day is the evil thereof. ' ' 

W. K. Stone. 



SCHOOL OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING, 




ERHAPS no department of Purdue shows 
so well the pushing, progressive charac- 
ter of the management of Purdue as this. 
Only a few years ago and the extensive 
field included under physics was given 
but a term in the curriculum; now the 
largest and handsomest building on the 
campus has been erected for the depart- 
ment, so much has its work been ex- 
tended. In the cabinets of this depart- 
ment is also found much of the finest and 
most delicate apparatus of the University. 
The School of Electrical Engineer- 
ing, the 3'oungest of the technical schools 
of Purdue, has had the advantage of finding here the well planned and 
flourishing course in mechanical engineering. This furnished the basis 
of just such a course as the practical electrical engineer demands. The 
methods of machine work and principles of machinerj-, the theory and 
practice of the steam engine, etc., are as important to the electrical as to 
the mechanical engineer. 

The home of the electrical department needs to be mentioned. The 
Electrical Building is, as the cut shows, an imposing three-story building 
of dressed stone and brick. Its large corner tower is the most prominent 
object on the Purdue campus, and adds largely to the architectural effect 
of the building. The interior is very light and cheerful, and this is an 
element adding much spirit to the work. The wood work is oil-varnished 
red oak. To briefly mention the rooms, let us enter through the taste- 
fully tiled lobby, into the large central hall. Opening from this is an 
oflSce, a recitation room, three special experiment rooms, a large general 
laboratory and a djmamo room. The special experiment rooms are fur- 
nished with large stone-capped brick pieces, built on heavy stone but- 
tresses, independent of the building, so as to be free from vibration for

the most delicate experimental work. Two of these rooms also have 
brass steam fittings, so as to be used for special magnetic work. Off from 
the general laboratory is a work shop, fitted with carpenter and metal 
benches, a lathe, tools, etc. Naturally the dynamo room is a center of 
attraction. The various systems of electric lighting and power are here 
represented by dynamos, motors and storage batteries, and one meets the 
familiar commercial names of Edison, Brush, Thomson-Houston, Gramme, 
Sprague, Baxter, Julien, etc. The motive power is supplied by a twenty- 
two-horse power Straight Line steam engine. 

The experimental lecture room and accompanying apparatus room 
are on the second floor. To enumerate the apparatus would take more 
space than allotted to this sketch. Enough that it is all of the latest and 
best designs, and admirably adapted to the work. 

The aim of the School of Electrical Engineering is to give the elec- 
trical engineer the most complete fitting for his work. The problems of 
electrical engineering are of the most varied and changing character. 
There are rapid changes and unexpected advances in every application of 
electricity to commercial life. Probably nothing better illustrates this 
than the extended use of alternating currents to electric lighting. Only 
two or three 5rears ago alternating currents were merelj^ a matter of curi- 
osity to the practical engineer. To-day the claim is made for the alter- 
nating system that it is the solution for the difficulties of the past. In 
the light of such advances the Purdue School of Electrical Engineering 
has chosen the wiser part in making its course a complete four years' 
course, making a thorough knowledge of the facts and principles of elec- 
tricity and magnetism the basis upon which to build the practical work 
of the last years of the course. The Senior year is devoted to the discus- 
sion and investigation, experimentall}' and theoretically, of just such 
problems as are coming up before the professional electrician. The de- 
signing of electrical appliances and apparatus receives special attention. 
With the present start and the continual additions to be made, the school 
has a most brilliant outlook for the future.

SCHOOL OF CIVIL ENGINEERING. 



[HIS department was founded in 1887. The work in 
the department is in strict keeping with the spirit of 
the institution, the object being to fit men to become 
civil engineers. It is believed the course of instruc- 
tion is such as will enable its graduates to rise rap- 
idly to positions of the highest responsibility in the 
profession. A civil engineer must be a liberally edu- 
cated man, and for this reason the course in civil 
engineering is rather more general in its character 
than that of the other technical schools of the Uni- 
versity. 

The location of the Universitj' is very favorable 
to the establishment of a school of civil engineering. 
The citj' of La Fayette is quite centrally located with 
reference to the cities of Chicago, Cleveland, Cincin- 
nati, St. Louis, Louisville, etc., and in all the.se cit- 
ies there is much to incite the interest of the students 
in the way of examining existing engineering struct- 
ures. In and around the city itself are numerous 
highwaj' and railroad bridges, which offer excellent 
opportunities to the students of bridge engineer- 
ing. 

The department is well equipped with field instruments of the most 
approved pattern, but it is hoped to extend the equipment as rapidly as 
possible in the way of models of arches, bridges, roof trusses, etc.

these so-called practical days, many peo- 
ple go about with the question, ' ' What is 
its practical benefit?" on their tongue's 
end. No one seems to question the util- 
ity of the engineering courses. Thej' are 
always approved, and their importance is 
readilj^ granted. The apparent magni- 
tude of industries requiring engineers is 
at once acknowledged as sufficient ground 
for maintaining these schools. Very few 
people stop to think that the value of 
farms and farm products is vastly in ex- 
cess of the value of those industries for 
which engineers are trained; rior are they inclined to think that farmers 
require special training. The purpose of the Agricultural Course is to 
train men in such a way that they may follow agricultural pursuits to the 
best advantage, and at the same time be able to make some advancement 
in the art, and to aid tho.se in their community who have not had a thor- 
ough training in the fundamental principles of their business. 

The course aims to make a man what he should and must be in these 
days of sharp competition; to give him a knowledge of the correct rela- 
tion of his land to its products, and of these products to other products; 
and to give him this knowledge in such a form that he will not sit around 
and groan about the degeneracy of the times, but will get out and put his 
knowledge to some immediate use, and, if necessary, adapt his work to 
the times. 

During the entire course, the student, in addition to the subjects 
common to all the courses, studies the best authorities on theoretical and 
applied agriculture and allied subjects. At the same time he sees going 
on about him work of the utmost value to agricultural science. And this 
work deals with the particular problems that are of first importance in our

own state. He sees and ma}^ take part in experiments on soils, crop rota- 
tion, fertilizers, cattle feeding, curing of cattle food, dairying, economic 
entomology, soil drainage, veterinary practice, seed testing, improvement 
of varieties of seeds, fruit raising, market gardening and a multitude of 
other things relating to the business of farming. He is prepared to use 
the results of this work on his own farm, and, what is of the highest im- 
portance, to properly plan and execute those investigations which will 
solve the questions arising in his daily work. His training is broad 
enough to lead him to correct conclusions, and so enable him to apply 
himself and his capital to the best advantage. A farmer with broad, 
sound training and good, hard sense is a most valuable citizen. This is 
what the Agricultural Course has tried to make, has made, and will con- 
tinue to make.

ART AT PURDUE. 



NE of the fadls long ago discovered is that a 
technical school without drawing would 
be as defedlive as a classical school with- 
out language, and that an Art Depart- 
ment was a necessary complement to 
the regular courses of study at Purdue 
University. 

So the School of Industrial Art 
opened in the pioneer days of the Uni- 
versity ; not with a blare of trumpets 
and a clashing of cymbals, as the de- 
partments do in these later days, but 
with equal force and the same gen- 
eral purpose. 

At the time of its beginning, this 
department occupied a single room 
in the building that is now used as 
the men's dormitory. Strange, what 
a variety of essentials emanates from 
this building, and how many of them 
eventually hold a place, often vision- 
ary, in the Ladies' Boarding Hall. 
To this place the Industrial Art School came after a very few years, 
having, owing to its own good efforts, crowded itself out of the room 
assigned to it in University Hall, by the ever increasing number of art 
students. Here it found itself large enough to fill a suite of eight 
rooms, the main ledlure room being the best arranged room for the 
purpose to be found in the West. This, together with a museum, a 
room for casts, one for designing, three for wood carving and clay

\ 



modeling, and an office, were taken possession of and considered a 
dominion to be further improved and enlarged as the growth of the 
University required. 

Here the most imaginative may train his pencil to illustrate his 
thoughts ; and he with skillful hands may develop his imagination as 
well as copy from ever varying nature in every form. He may sketch 
his ideal, model it in clay, and perpetuate it by carving it in wood. 

Industrial art brings forth the principles from which may be de- 
veloped the essentials for every style of decoration. Nothing can be 
more delightful to the cultivated mind than the combination of the 
useful with the beautiful, whether they have merely the benefit of the 
result or are actually engaged in the work of creating.

SCHOOL OF PHARMACY. 




I^ONDITIONS were such in the year 
1884 that the School of Pharmacy was 
estabHshed. It was organized in re- 
sponse to the public demand for drug- 
gists of a higher pharmaceutical educa- 

^f^y^'^^^S-^^^^^^^' ^^'^^ than that obtained by practical 

I _ -TTT^, - nil .=s> experience. 

The course affords a thorough prac- 
tical and theoretical training in chem- 
istry, pharmacy and related branches. 
In the Junior year the student receives instructions in experimental chem- 
istry, qualitative analysis, inorganic chemistry, manufacture of galenical 
and inorganic pharmaceutical preparations, human anatomj^ materia 
medica, pharmacognosy, doses, pharmaceutical problems and strength 
and composition of medicines. 

In the Senior year he receives instruction in organic pharmaceutical 
preparations, toxicology, organic qualitative analysis, (proximate) analy- 
sis of urine, quantitative analysis, pharmaceutical assaying, pharmacog- 
nosy, materia medica, pharmaceutical synonj^ms, botany and prescription 
work. The morning hours are devoted to lectures and recitations, while 
the afternoon is given to laboratory work. 

A separate room has been fitted up as a dispensing pharmacy, and is 
used by the student in filling prescriptions; the student is required to read 
and correct prescriptions taken from the files of drug stores. The more 
difficult ones are to be filled by the student under the personal supervision 
of a practical druggist. Under the management of Professors Green and 
Spitzer the course is gradually improving. This year they have added 



A SOUVENIR. 

the manufacture of organic chemical compounds to the course, making it 
the only school in the countrj^ that presents this branch of organic chem- 
istry. 

The analysis of water has also been added to the course. The student 
is required to analyze several samples of water, under the supervision of 
the professor of quantitative analysis. This has been the most successful 
year since the establishment of the school; the number of students has 
increased nearly fifty per cent over last year, and the prospects are very 
encouraging for the coming term.

THE INDIANA AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT 

STATION. 




through the 



'HIS institution, maintained as a de- 
partment of Purdue University and 
the work of which is undertaken in the 
interests of the agricultural community 
of Indiana, is neither a local nor yet a 
state institution. It is national in its 
origin, having been established by an 
act of congress approved March 2, 
1887, the object of which was to call 
into existence, in connection with the 
agricultural colleges already estab- 
lished in the different states, depart- 
ments or institutions for the express 
purpose of studying the principles 
underlying the great agricultural in- 
dustry of the country, and increasing 
the productiveness of this industry

while increasing the power of the producer through careful and systematic 
experiments. 

These institutions, though comparatively new in America, are coun- 
terparts of similar stations in Europe, the existence of which dates back 
half a centur)^ They were called into existence in response to a direct 
demand from the tillers of American farms. The work undertaken b}^ the 
Indiana station and the field recognized as belonging to it maj- be best 
illustrated by the organization of the staff devoted to the work. 

In agriculture the study of new methods, new varieties and new 
implements; the investigation of the characteristics of soils, crops and 
animals; the study of fertilizers, of rotations, of the principles of animal 
nutrition, of economical feeding, and the utilization of dairy products, 
form the scope of the work undertaken. 

In horticulture varieties, methods, systems of propagation, hybridi- 
zation, cross-fertilization and the origination of new systems and new 
products, offer a field occupying the energies of the department. 

In chemistrj', the study of soils, of fertilizers, of cattle food and ot 
dairy products is each capable of affording results of direct practical value 
and application to daily farm affairs. 

In botany not only the botanical characteristics of plants grown as 
crops and the conditions controlling their economical production are 
studied, but to the sphere of the botanist also belong those other plants 
of hardly less significance to the farmer, the vegetable diseases from the 
existence of which his crops so often seriously suffer. The rusts, smuts, 
mildews, rots, scabs and other fungoid diseases receive the experimental 
study of the botanist, with the result already of having materially dimin- 
ished the losses heretofore consequent upon the ravages of these enemies 
of the farmer. 

In entomology the station finds a means for protecting farm crops 
from many of their most serious insect pests. The curculio, the codlin 
moth, Hessian fly and chinch bug are illustrations where success has 
already crowned the efforts of the station, while such other crop depre- 
dators as cut worms, wire worms, white grubs and army worm are still 
occupying the attention of the entomologist with the hope of at least par- 
tially reducing the hundreds of thousands of dollars' damage annually 
inflicted upon the farmers of the state by their ravages. 

The veterinarian of the station is devoting his energies toward pro- 
tecting the farm live stock of Indiana from some of the numerous con- 
tagious diseases to-day preying upon them. Glanders, hog cholera, 
tuberculosis and influenza are names, the mere suggestion of which is 



¥

sufficient evidence of the necessitj^ and possibilities of work in this 
field. 

The station at Purdue has completed but one entire year of work 
under its present organization, y^X. the results are in the highest degree 
encouraging. The station has received recognition among the most 
prominent in the country, and the demand for the results of its work 
comes from every state and territor}^ of the Union; at home, however, it 
has received the unanimous recognition and support of the community in 
whose interests it labors; its publications, mailed free by act of congress 
to all applicants, regularly reach thousands of the farmers of the state, 
among whom many new and firm friends for the station and the Uni- 
versity have been found, and numerous instances of the public acknowl- 
edgment of important practical assistance have occurred as the result of 
the experimental work already accomplished.

HISTORY AND POLITICAL ECONOMY. 




(HE Department of History and Political 
Economy affords the student instruction 
in history of the United States, general 
history and political economy. In the 
work done in political economy, as well 
as in history, the fact is constantly kept 
in sight that the student is to become a 
citizen. Especial attention is given to 
those subjects that concern the political 
and economic life of the people. Vei;y 
little time is given to abstract theories 
and the memorizing of dates; on the con- 
trary, such problems as those that every 
good citizen must meet and help to solve, 
are the things that receive most atten- 
tion. Some of the graduates of Purdue 
will follow engineering, some scientific pursuits, and others agriculture, 
but since all must become citizens, especial care is taken to instruct in 
those subjects that will prepare for intelligent citizenship. 

It is confidently believed that the subjects studied in this department 
are matters for scientific investigation, and that to obtain the best results, 
the method of science must be applied. For this reason the student is 
supplied with material, directions given in regard to its use, and he is 
allowed to draw his own conclusions, subject to the free criticism of class 
and instructor. The library is the laboratory from which the materials 
are drawn, and not the least of the aims of the department is to train the 
students to use it intelligently.

LITERATURE IN PURDUE, 




'ITERATURE is the expression in language of the 
attempt of man to comprehend his infinity, 
his universal nature. Man's self searches 
everywhere to find itself expressed. He finds 
his own mind, with its laws in nature, and out 
of the facts of nature he builds stupendous 
systems of science. In histor}^ he finds his 
own immeasurable self building the world's 
materials into definite, organized life. 

Yet science and history do not constitute 
literature. Literature is not an expression ot 
the real facts of the world, but rather of the 
ideals of the soul ; literature does not describe 
a plant, or a star, or a fish, with scientific minuteness ; it finds in the life 
of these some thought, feeling or action, which may typify to man an 
ideal of his own possibility. The course of the water fowl shows the guid- 
ing hand of the human course, and the little flower in the crannied wall 
hints at all that God and man are. Literature does not describe minutely 
some phase of life of a city or country, and do no more ; it infuses into 
this description a breath of the universal human soul, and so makes the 
description of the life of Pere Goriot a type of human selfishness, human 
vanity, human ingratitude, human vice, contrasted with absolute human 
self-sacrifice and unselfishness ; literature does not merely relate the myths 
and legends of the prehistoric ages, it speaks there through the Iliad and 
Odyssey, the Divina Comedia, Hamlet, Faust and Marble Faun, but it 
makes them show the eternal solutions of man to the problem of life — the 
union of his finiteness and his infinity — and they interpret to him the 
spirits of the ages ; Homer, of the Classic Age ; Dante, the Mediaeval 
Age ; Shakespeare, the Renaissance ; Goethe, the Revolutionary Age ; 



A SOUVENIR. 

Hawthorne, the American Age. Literature thus has for its province the 
spirituality of man in its ideal phases, as contrasted with science and his- 
tory, which treat of man's spiritualit}- in what may be called its real phases. 
If a man is, then, to be truh' a complete man, a woman truly a complete 
woman, study of literature must go hand in hand with study of science 
and of history. The study of literature counteracts the materializing 
influence of an exclusive study of science. The microscope, the telescope, 
the balance, the micrometer, do not measure all things ; the subtle illusive, 
self-active, self-directive, intelligent, loving soul cannot be put into a scale- 
pan, fused in a crucible, or tested on a galvanometer. It can be known 
only b}^ insight, and insight is gained by a study of literature, for litera- 
ture catches and fixes this forever moving essence. 

The course of literature at Purdue is admirably fitted to carry out this 
thought. It more than supplements the training in material thinking. 
In the Preparator}^ Department the beginning is made with American 
poems ; these come closest to the students' own lives, being perhaps 
most easilj- interpreted. The form of the selected pieces is studied as to 
grammar and composition, and thus furnishes a transition from the 
secondarj' instruction to the college work. In the Freshman j-ear the 
time is spent on American prose. The beginning of the college work in 
" insight reading " is made here in the study of the characters of the per- 
sons Irving, for example, portraj^s, and in conversations oh the thoughts 
and feelings expressed. The chief form of study of the year is in the way 
of rhetoric, leading up to the later work in style. The Sophomore year 
continues the previous work with English poetr}'. "Brooks' Primer of 
English Literature ' ' is used to furnish an outline of the history of litera- 
ture in England. In the Junior year English prose is considered, an 
especially minute study of style and literary form being made. " Minto's 
Manual of English Prose ' ' is the basis for the work. DeOuincey, Macaulaj- 
and Carlyle's masterpieces are studied. The aim is to fit the student for 
an appreciation of the beauties of style, and this year's work closes the 
study of form. In the course of the year some attention is given to 
insight, especially in the study of Carlyle. In the Senior year is the 
best work of the literature cour.se. The whole time is spent in a study of 
the thought and feeling of some of the world's greater poets. Shake- 
speare, Browning and Emerson furnish the student with the ideals of the 
life he is soon to begin. With the training of his whole college life 
inherent in him, he is ready to seize the problems of life and conquer them. 
It were not fitting to close an account of the literature course at Pur- 
due and its influence, without recognizing the most potent influence in 



A SOUVENIR. 

this line, the womanly woman, who is the professor in charge. It is 
superfluous to sa}' anything to an Indiana public of Emma Mont. McRae. 
L,et it suffice that Purdue is both fortunate and proud hi having in charge 
of this department, which does so much for the spiritual welfare of its 
students, the one person in Indiana best able to make this highest culture 
a real and living power to them.

JOHN PURDUE. 




'OHN PURDUE, who has endeared his name 
to the people of Indiana as the founder of 
the Purdue University at La Fayette, In- 
iana, was born in Huntington county, 
Pa., on the 31st of October, 1802. 
His native village, German}-, located be- 
tween two small mountain ranges, pre- 
sented, during the years of his minority, 
all the scenes and incidents of pioneer life. 
It was a German settlement, as its name 
indicates, and the earh^ residents were not 
blessed with any of the modern appliances 
that now lend a charm to farm life. Mr. 
Purdue's father, Charles Purdue, was a 
poor, hard-working, honest pioneer. John, 
the subject of this sketch, was the only 
son, the other seven children being daugh- 
ters. Times were hard in the pioneer set- 
tlement then, and John Purdue was early on the list of "hired help." 
At the age of eight years he was first sent to a country school, where he 
at once evinced his natural taste for intellectual culture. He made rapid 
progress in his elementary studies, and after a few years of great industrj-, 
improving every opportunity, he became quite proficient in the English 
branches of study, and was himself called to the school room as a teacher. 
While still young, his father and family emigrated to Ross count}^, O., 
near Adelphia, and thence to Worthington, Franklin count}^ seven miles 
from Columbus. After several years as a most successful teacher, Mr. 
Purdue visited Marion county, O., where he purchased a quarter section 
of land, and at once went to farming. 

We shall not follow Mr. Purdue step by step in his commercial life. 
It was a magnificent success for the individual, but not less so for educa- 
tion in Indiana, as we will see. He first came to La Fayette in 1837, 
though he did not locate permanently until 1839, when he opened a store 



A SOUVENIR. 

of general merchandise in connection with Mr. Moses Fowler in a building 
on the northeast corner of the public square. Soon after, he struck out on 
his own account and accumulated a vast fortune, which was ever freely 
distributed for benevolent and educational purposes. His commercial 
operations in New York city during the civil war were characterized by 
wonderful business foresight, unflinching integrity and substantial re- 
wards — so much so that Mr. Purdue's name became a tower of credit in 
that cit}'. He was truly the king of the produce merchants in that great 
metropolis during his business residence there. 

His connection with Mr. Fowler lasted only until 1840, and he there- 
after made several firm changes until 1861, at which time he sold out 
finally, and became interested in the founding and building of the I^a Faj- 
ette Agricultural Works, the buildings of which are now occupied by the 
La Fayette Car Works. 

In 1869 he announced himself as independent candidate for Congress, 
and came ver}^ near being elected, his competitor being Hon. G. S. Orth. 
About this time, probably to further and assist his political aspirations, 
he purchased the La Fayette Morning Jouiiial, which he sold shortly 
after to Mr. S. Vater, present proprietor and editor of the Evening Call. 

In any historical sketch of Purdue University will be found a com- 
plete account of the transaction upon which was based the changing of 
the name of the " Agricultural College " to that of " Purdue University." 
Suffice to sa}' here that, upon certain conditions, Mr. Purdue agreed to 
donate to the Board of Trustees the amount of ^150,000. This beneficent 
gift, besides locating the institution near La Fayette, placed it upon a firm 
financial footing, and gave it the needed start toward a successful com- 
pletion of the high aim of its Board of Trustees. 

In the months of June, July and August of 1876, Mr. Purdue had 
not enjoyed good health, but nothing serious was apprehended. On Sept. 
12 he visited the Agricultural Works and Purdue' University, and 
stopped for a time at the Lahr House, his real home, where he had 
furnished rooms. During the afternoon he was conveyed to the Hygienic 
Institute, and left there by his nephew, feeling much better than usual. 
After eating a slight lunch and chatting with the inmates of the house, he 
retired to his rooms, where, about 5 o'clock p. m., he was found dead, 
lying upon his face on the floor, he apparently having fallen while attempt- 
ing to reach the door. The cause of his death was doubtless apoplexy, 
with which he had long been threatened. 

The funeral took place on the afternoon of Sept. 14 at 2:30 o'clock. 
Hon. John R. Coffroth, Hon. John A. Stein, and President White, 

8 



A SOUVENIR. 

after visiting the University grounds, chose a commanding spot in 
front of the Main Building, then in process of construction, and near the 
campus avenue, as the location for the grave. It was one of the best that 
could have been selected. The funeral was very largely attended, and 
the president delivered a funeral oration at the grave. 

Mr. Purdue lived an honest, upright life. Eulogies that tremble on 
the pen would fail to do him justice. He seized everj' opportunity of doing 
good as it presented itself and it was only through his last and crowning 
act that the students of Purdue University enjoj' the manifold privileges 
now spread before them. His words of counsel were always characterized 
by appeals for honesty and integritj'. These principles he admired above 
all else. He was a careful reader of the Bible, and had in his library 
numerous works relating to the Scriptures. He was on intimate terms 
with many of the students, and always had a pleasant, encouraging word 
and a sunny smile for each. 




THE FIRST COMMENCEMENT. 

{Compiled from an article in the La Fayette Courier, June ij, 1875. ~) 

^N Thursday morning, June 17, 1875, 
occurred the first commencement at 
Purdue. Owing to a severe rain storm, 
the attendance was not large. Among 
those present were Governor Thomas 
A. Hendricks, Hon. John Purdue and 
the Board of Trustees. After prayer by 
Rev. Joyce, now Bishop Joyce, President Shortridge presented John B. 
Harper, the only graduate, as a candidate for the degree of B. S. Mr. 
Harper delivered an interesting and able oration on ' ' The Search for 
Truth." After he had concluded Gov. Hendricks came forward and de- 
livered the presentation speech. He said that the institution had made a 
modest start, but he hoped the graduates within twenty years would 
number one hundred instead of one. Gov. Hendricks was followed by 
Hon. John Purdue. He said he did not intend to make a speech; he only 
desired to say a few words. The institution was still in its infancy. He 
hoped it would grow to be a man. The college had a small beginning 
and, the speaker said, blunders had been made in the management, but 
he thought the}- would be overcome. He said that the governing laws 
were imperfect, and should be changed. Before taking his seat he re- 
marked, tersely: " We don't get on very nicely." (It was an open secret 
at that time that the founder of the institution was not in sympathy with 
the policy of the president and some of the trustees. — Eds.) 

At the conclusion of the commencement exercises the visitors inspected 
the various departments of the Universit3^ The library was a small room 
in the south end of the dormitorj^, and there were about six hundred 
volumes on the shelves. The recitation rooms in the three buildings 
were visited, and the work of the students examined. Very little apparatus 
had yet been provided, and about all the six professors could exhibit were 
some mathematical drawings, collections of botanical specimens and some 
chemical preparations in glass tubes. 

That evening the trustees held a meeting and made arrangements to 
establish a military department under charge of an army officer. 



MILITARY TRAINING. 



\P the casual observer wandering over the campus 
of old Purdue, there is but little to suggest the 
presence of a military company, unless, per- 
chance, he meets some handsome cadet, in dark 
blue uniform and brass buttons, or should espy 
the stars and stripes floating from the flag staff" 
on the armory. Since 1876 a military organiza- 
tion has been in existence at Purdue; but we 
may say that the present company was formed 
two years ago, when an, instructor. Lieutenant 
Pickering, U.S.A., was detailed by the authori- 
ties at Washington, to take charge of military 
affairs at the place. Lieut. Pickering was placed 
in charge, and under his able supervision an 
excellent cadet corps was organized. Though 
not compulsory, over a hundred students soon 
entered the ranks, and it is proven beyond a 
doubt that the company is a permanent feature 
of Purdue. At present the battalion consists 
of two companies of infantry, a corps of light 
artillery and a drum corps. The drill occurs 
twice a week on the campus, when the weather permits, or in the Military 
Hall, a building large enough to accommodate two companies of infantry 
and a detachment of artillery. Here the raw recruit is drilled in the vari- 
ous foot movements until quite proficient, and then he is given a musket 
and taught " how to shoot." The arms furnished by the state are of the 
latest improved pattern, and the training a cadet receives is as thorough 
and severe as at any military school or in the regular army. Lectures are

occasionally given on subjects connected with militar}' life, and every- 
thing is made as attractive and pleasant as possible. The benefits derived 
from such an organization are more than would be supposed by one unac- 
quainted with the drill. A graceful carriage, a knowledge of war, and 
ability to command in case of emergency are a few of the important 
factors.

DELTA DELTA-SIGMA CHI, 




^W^' 



1855 Sigma Chi was founded at the 
old Miami College, at Oxford, O., by 
six refractory members of Delta Kappa 
Epsilon, who refused to support a cau- 
cus candidate, and withdrew from the 
"Dekes" inconsequence. From 1845 
to the opening of the war, Miami was 
the leading college of the West, and 
seemed destined to become to the West 
what Harvard and Yale are to the 
East. The Greek letter society estab- 
lished by the six Miami students has enjoyed a career of great prosperity. 
The number of chapters has reached about forty, and the total member- 
ship is about 3,000. The chapters are principally in the West and South, 
experience having indicated that the true fraternity standard cannot be 
maintained in the large ea:stern universities. The fraternity has issued 
an excellent song book. The official organ is the quarterly published at 
Chicago, and the fraternity colors are blue and gold. In 1876 a cata- 
logue of the members was published, and the new catalogue of 1890, just 
out, is the most pretentious volume of the kind ever issued by any Greek 
letter society. It is a large book, containing photographic views of every 
college at which Sigma Chi has been established, together with a history 
of each chapter, a brief biography of each member, and much useful clas- 
sified information. 

Delta Delta chapter was established at Purdue Universit3' in 1875, 
within a few months after the college first opened. The charter member- 
ship was large, and the chapter enjoyed a prosperous existence until 1878, 
when the faculty passed an anti-fraternity regulation, to which all stu- 
dents were ■ required to subscribe. From 1878 to 1885 the initiates were 
sud rosa, and no badges were worn, and very few meetings held. In 1880 
there graduated the last student who was generally known to be a mem- 
ber of the ffaternitJ^ In 1881 the chapter made a test of the anti-fra-

ternity regulation by appeal to the Circuit Court of Tippecanoe county for 
a mandamus, to compel the faculty to admit members who would not sub- 
scribe to the "iron-clad oath." The Circuit Court upheld the faculty. 
An appeal was taken to the Supreme Court of the state, which reversed 
the decision of the lower court, and distinctly upheld the fraternity. 
This decision of the Supreme Court was not immediately followed by a 
repeal of the regulation, and the matter of the prohibitory rule was 
brought up in 1883 in the legislature, and vigorously discussed pro and 
con, and the contention over this point had much to do with the blocking 
of the University appropriation that session. The local chapter peti- 
tioned the faculty, through alumni members, many times between 1878 
and 1885, and finally, after seven or eight years of mere semi-existence, 
was received and took its place among the active chapters. 

Since 1885 the members have held regular meetings in their hall, 
and, aside from the occasional diversions which college life alwaj's offers, 
they have encountered no startling adventures. They are inclined to 
bury the dead past and forget old animosities engendered during the 
fierce " frat" war of '81 and '82. The chapter prides itself on a large 
representation among the alumni, and also on the fact that during the 
fifteen years' existence of the University, the members have always been 
prominent in the literary societies and active in student enterprises. The 
total membership to date is about sevent3^-five. The chapter rooms are 
located in the Perrin Building in the city.

CHI CHAPTER-KAPPA SIGMA. 



^HE Kappa Sigma fraternity is one of 
the later Greek letter societies, 
coming into existence in 1867. It 
had its origin in the South, and a 
majority of the chapters have been 
organized in southern colleges and 
academies. Like all new organiza- 
tions invading a territory occupied 
by older and well established rivals, 
it has encountered many difficulties, 
and a number of chapters have suc- 
cumbed to adverse circumstances. 
Nevertheless, Kappa Sigma has 
grown in numbers and influence 
each year. The fraternity issues a 
quarterly magazine. 

Chi chapter was founded in 
1885 by Augustus Ruffher and W. T. Thayer, both of '88, who had been 
members at the West Virginia Military Institute, Mr. Ruffiier was an 
energetic fraternity man, high in the councils of the order, and one of the 
general officers. Largely through his efforts, the chapter started out 
with a dozen enthusiastic members. The chapter was sich rosa until 1887, 
since which time it has occupied a suite of rooms in the city. Chi chap- 
ter is unfortunate in being so entirely isolated from the other chapters of 
the fraternity, placing it in the position of a local society. The members 
of the Purdue chapter have been prominent in athletic sports, and the 
chapter has given several pleasant social entertainments.

THE first meeting of the Irving Literar)- Society was held Januar)' 
29, 1875, in the second story recitation room of the building now de- 
voted exclusively to chemistrj' and pharmac}-, at that time used as a 
recitation room for the preparatory class. There were fifteen charter mem- 
bers, of whom all but one are now living. The membership during the first 
three years did not at any time exceed twenty. The annual entertain- 
ment was given during commencement week of each year. The Irving 
had the field to itself for three j^ears before the Philalethean, first known 
as the "Cereal," was organized. In 1878 the society was assigned its 
present large and handsome room in the Main Building, which was com- 
pleted during the fall of that year. The dedication exercises took place 
November 21, and were attended bj' Governor Williams, ex- Governor 
Hendricks, the President of the State University and State Normal, the 
trustees and other distinguished visitors. 

From 1878 to 188 1 the society was more or less rent by factions, and 
finally, in 188 1, when the membership had been " boomed " up to seventy, 



A SOUVENIR. 

twenty-eight members withdrew and formed the Carlyle, A new consti- 
tution was then adopted, and the membership limited to forty. The 
society has experienced unvarying prosperity from 1881 up to the present 
time. The annual entertainment is given during the second week of the 
third term, and an open meeting is also given during each term session. 
The annual reunion occurs during commencement week, and consists of a 
banquet, toast programme and social session. 

The Irving is by far the oldest of any of the societies. Its member- 
ship to date is not far from 275, and nearlj^ fifty presidents have wielded 
the gavel of authority. Its alumni members are scattered far and wide, 
and hold many places of honor and trust. The Irving has always taken 
an honest pride in the excellence of its literary work, and it has endeav- 
ored to be in name and fact, a literary society.

A RAY of light broke through the gloom which shrouded earh- Purdue 
when the Philalethean was brought into existence. Since that event- 
ful day, so important in the history of Purdue, eleven j'ears have 
passed. Her life thus far has been happy and successful, for she has been 
nourished and reared with the tenderest care by those who have had her in 
charge. They have presided over her with a dignity befitting their posi- 
tion, and thus many laurels have been laid upon her j-outhful brow. 

Her adherents have been many, for she has had a variety of .social 
and literary advantages to offer them. Her constitution is almost perfect, 
considering her age, but sometimes her watchful guardians detect some 
slight flaw which they immediately remed\-, if possible. Thus as the 
years go by, she becomes stronger, and the laws governing her are in- 
creased and perfected. 

In the Philalethean hall, which is shared with the Carlyle, are assem- 
bled every Friday afternoon about fortj^ wise and witty members, 



A SOUVENIR. 

who for an hour devote themselves to literature and music. Every 
spring time, during the annuals, she displays her intellectual charms to 
the culture of La Faj^ette and the students of Purdue, giving them a 
slight conception of the literar}^ ability which she has attained. At this 
time her best talent is brought forth, and it has always compared very 
favorably with that of the other Purdue societies. 

On one of the rare days in June, all her former devotees assemble and 
tor a while give themselves up to banqueting and merry-making. They 
call to mind reminiscences of college days and re-live the happy days spent 
in the old Philalethean hall. 




THE Carlyle Literary Society was begun in 1881 by the fraternity 
element of the old Irving. The new society went smoothly 
along, meeting whenever it was kindly permitted to, in "No. 3," 
the library, and among the skeletons in the basement, until it was 
finally domiciled with the Philalethean. 

The members were from the start bound together with a much closer 
feeling of friendship and unity than generall}' exists in such organiza- 
tions. We felt we could not aflford to waste any friendship we had. As 
a consequence, the Carlyle constitution became a model one in its harmon- 
izing provisions, and the innovations introduced tended to keep the 
Carljde spirit alive and active, even after college was finished. To many 
of us of the old yegime, the name Carlyle even yet calls up a brotherly 
feeling for every one of that little group of thirtj' who met, week after 
week, and worked for the success we knew must come. "A charter 
member of Carlyle ? Give us 3'our hand, old fellow; we know what that 
means, don't we?" We received vi-sits occasionally from our friends, and 
one of our most vivid recollections is that of Mr. Haynes, the superin- 



A SOUVENIR. 

tendent of the farm, and his big basket of apples. Mr. Vestal, the green- 
house superintendent, came frequently to see us and wish us success. 

The first annual was a complete success, and showed the most in- 
vidious foe that there was something at work which would not down. 
We felt that we had the best literary talent of the University, and with 
the red and gold banner, and ''Studete Literas,'" we meant to march to the 
heights and stay there. Thus was Carlyle started on a successful course. 
Not the smallest part of that success was due to the staunch friendship of 
the lady friends who stood by us in the hardest fights. All honor to those 
to whom the credit is due. 

A reason easily apparent to the initiated has made Carlyle a leader 
m social matters at Purdue. The Carlyle picnics and hops are events 
long to be treasured in the memory of those who enjoyed them. That 
other societies have followed Carlyle' s lead in this line is not without 
meaning. 

So when we meet at the annual reunion, and .see the faces of the old 
boys becoming fewer and fewer, we feel like saying to the new ones who 
wear the Roman sword, "When you lose the old -spirit that breathed 
through the name Carlyle, you will fall; when you make it stronger, you 
must stand at the very head." 




IN the fall of 1886, a number of Freshmen axid Sophomores met for the 
purpose of organizing another literary society. Owing to the rapidly 

increasing number of students at the college, they deemed another 
society to be essential, and definite action was accordingly taken. Various 
committees were appointed, and the laborious work of framing a consti- 
tution was begun. With headquarters at the dormitory — that place where 
so many schemes have been born and fostered — the necessary work was 
rapidljr completed. It was not, however, until the spring of 1887 that the 
faculty finally granted a charter to the new societ}^ the "Emersonian." 

lyike the other literary societies of Purdue, the Emersonians have for 
their objects, social and mental culture; social culture bj^ the association 
of its individual members, mental culture by the performance of the 
various literary duties of the society. 

The Emersonian societj^ is no longer an infant, although young in 
years. It has given its annual entertainments and its open meetings, 
and in each case has compared favorably with the older societies. Its 
members, overcoming the many obstacles in their way, are faithfully 
carrying out their motto: " Wtc die Arbeit, so die Belohnung.''^

THE SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY 



"N February, 1883, a few students and sev- 
eral members of the faculty met and 
organized a Natural History, or Scientific 
Society. The first meeting was held in 
the biological laboratory of the Main 
Building, Prof C. R. Barnes acting as 
temporary chairman. This organiza- 
tion at Purdue was the result of a talk in 
which were portrayed the workings of a 
Scientific Society in the Michigan Agri- 
cultural School. At each regular monthly 
meeting one or more papers are read, 
bearing upon subjects of scientific interest and importance. This society 
is the only one in college which admits men of all classes. President and 
prep, professor and student meet in one common interest. It has for its 
aim the promotion of science and general intelligence. From the time of 
its organization until to-day, it has proven itself one of the most beneficial 
societies ever established at Purdue, a credit and an honor to the college. 




THE ''PURDUE EXPONENT." 




^HE commencement of that eventful year 
of 1888, bringing with it all the joys 
and gladness that are ever present on 
such gala occasions when enhanced by 
the beauties of a bright summer day, 
witnessed the last moments of our be- 
loved college monthly, The Purdue. 
It had come and risen in time of adver- 
sit}', lived a long and useful life in the 
time of prosperity, but now, when in 
the height of its glory, its life cords were snapped in twain and it was sent 
to join that fast increasing army of magazines whose sole object is to leave 
behind the many cares and responsibilities of the busy world and hwxj 
themselves in the unremembered past. 

Its downfall, which would have occurred sooner or later had it con- 
tinued under the old constitution, was hastened by the 1889 editors, who 
assumed the responsibility of getting out an issue for the month of June. 
This was in conflict with the will of the faculty. The constitution was 
brought forth, examined and found to be faulty. As a remedy a new 
constitution was advised, but the societies and the faculty could not agree 
upon a document, so the publication of the paper was discontinued. 
Thus the matter rested till the fall term of the following school year. 

During this year — 1888-89 — in the societies, the question, "Shall 
we have a college paper?" was again agitated. The fall, winter and 
spring terms were spent in this discussion, but when June arrived they 
were no nearer a conclusion than they were at the first of the year. But 
when the days of September of 1889 brought back the students to their 
duties, the prospects for a paper were far brighter than they had been the 
year before. The class of 1889 had gone. The faculty, seeing the 
advantages that a paper in the interests of the University would bring 



A SOUVENIR. 

them, gave their consent to a constitution that had been drawn up. The 
societies, now four in number, the Emersonian having been founded in 
1887, each elected its editors, and in December the first issue of the new 
organ made its appearance under the name of the Purdue Exponent. The 
new monthly was everywhere greeted with kind words and encourage- 
ment. The design on the cover is artistic, for which the designer justly 
merits praise. 

The editorial staff is composed of three representatives from each liter- 
ary society, numbering twelve in all, elected to serve one year. At present 
the offices are filled with competent persons who are uniting their efforts 
to build up the interests of the paper and bring it on a level with its 
fellows. The Exponeiit has come to stay, probably, as there is little pros- 
pect of another 1889 ever getting into Purdue. 



Y.M. C.A.-Y. W. C.A. 




I^URDUE University has, among her other 
organizations, a Young Men's Christian 
Association. Founded in 1884, its history, 
for the past six years, is one of even 
prosperity and continued interest. The 
weekly meetings, occurring on Wednes- 
daj' evening before study hours, are 
given to devotional exercises which oc- 
cupy a short space of time. As the num- 
ber of students has increased from year 
to year, the membership on the records 
has also increased, and at present there 
are enrolled the names of forty-two active 
members. 

This branch of work in the Univer- 
sity is not wholly confined to the young men. In the fall of 1889 the 
young ladies organized a Y. W. C. A., selecting Monday afternoon as 
their time of meeting. In both of these organizations a large amount of 
interest has been taken by the students. Working quietly and unpre- 
tentiously, their work in the past has been effective. With the future 
opening so brightly before them, with prospects so inviting, there is 
much to warrant the belief that the twin associations will long continue 
to exercise a healthy and leavening influence.

PURDUE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. 




'N Athletic Association was organized in 
January, 1890, and its object is to 
regulate the sports at Purdue, not 
only by providing a system to train 
men in various games, but also to 
arrange opportunities that the various 
teams may meet other college men to 
test strength and skill. 

The association will regulate prin- 
cipally base ball and foot ball, and 
with the aid of the faculty, intends to equip the gymnasium for the gen- 
eral use of students. Every person in the college is eligible to member- 
ship, and the success of the association depends at all times upon the 
hearty co-operation of all the students, for nothing so induces a player to 
do his best as the encouragement and enthusiasm of his fellows. This 
spring the association controls the action of the base ball nine in a series 
of games with the Indiana colleges.

THE ELEVEN 



FOOT ball, though a rough and dangerous game, is, for this reason, 
perhaps, an exciting sport — a game in which old men and young 
men, and the ladies as well, are equally interested; a game which 
once seen is never to be forgotten. The timid may cower and shrink from 
a ' ' scrimmage' ' ; there is nothing that will cause the blood to leap in an old 
college man's veins as when he hears the half-smothered cry of " down! " 
from the man underneath, or when a goal is made by some dashing 
runner. 

Among the athletic sports at Purdue, that good old English game 
ranks second to no other. In recent j^ears much progress has been made 
in the training of the team, and to-day we possess an eleven that will not 
be excelled by any other college in the Indiana League. 

It was in 1887-88 that Purdue entered the lists with the other col- 
leges; but little was known of the game then by any of the students, and, 
as a result, we could not feel confident of success. However, after a few 
weeks' training, a fairly good eleven was chosen; but we were defeated 
by Butler, which college was the first to introduce the game to the col- 
leges of the state. 

The fall of 1888 passed with no games played. The spirit seemed to 
have died out, but later developments proved that it was "not dead, but 
only sleeping." Early in the autumn of 1889 a college foot ball associa- 
tion was formed by the Y. M. C. A. of Indianapolis, and Purdue again 
entered to compete for the laurels. Among the 450 students the prime 
movers in the matter saw much good material for a foot ball "eleven." 
The boys were put into training early in the season, and, when the time 
arrived for the first game, a noble set of fellows donned the moleskins and 
canvas jackets, and entered the arena. Good coaching, iron muscle and 
an abundance of "wind" carried the first day, Purdue winning easily 
the game with DePauw. 

Two weeks later a hotly contested game was won from Wabash on 
their own grounds, and Thanksgiving day the final game was played

with Butler to decide the state championship. Our men had not entirely 
recovered from their blows received in the two previous games, and, hav- 
ing a formidable adversary with whom to cope, we were unfortunately 
defeated, but not without a manly struggle. So much for a good rush 
line, a good coacher and the good will of both students and faculty — 
second place for 1889, with bright prospects for the championship in i8go.

THE NINE. 

BASE BALL has always been the popular game at Purdue. The nine 
first came prominentlj' to the front about 1880 by successively de- 
feating several college teams and amateur clubs, and playing a cred- 
itable game with the Indianapolis Association nine. Of course Purdue lost. 
In 1885 the nine was strengthened by a batter}- composed of Miller, '86, and 
Dickison, '87, pharmac5\ So long as these men were in college the nine 
was invincible. When they left the team lacked a battery. In the fall 
of '87 Purdue entered the lists for a series of inter-collegiate games. Dur- 
ing the 3^ear Purdue won a game, and was awarded two on a forfeit, as 
follows: 

8, at Purdue — Wabash 18; Purdue 7. 

, at Bloomington —Purdue, 3; State Univ., 2. 

at La Fayette — Purdue, 9; DePauw, o. 

at La Fayette — Purdue, 9; Butler, o. 

two games were played with Wabash, and Purdue 

This was largely due to the effective work of L. 
J. Hord, '89, pharmacy, who was in the box. In 1889-90 the team has 
not made an enviable record. Wabash twice defeated the Purdue team 
with ease. What we lacked was practice, team work and a battery. 
Purdue has individual brilliant players, and when the team gets into 
practice, the state championship will come this way.

A SOUVENIR. 



A scheme has now been perfected for a schedule of games between 
Indiana college nines, under the auspices of the state Y. M. C. A. The 
leagtte is composed of Purdue, Wabash, Butler, DePauw, Bloomington 
and Hanover. All professionals and special matriculates will be barred. 
Each team plays a game with every other, and the championship is 
awarded to the one making the largest percentage. Following is the 
roster of the team on April i, 1890: 

A. G. Moody, c. 

L. J. HORD, p. 

J. C. Goodwin, sub. p. and capt. 

A. Right, s. s. 

C. Witt, ist b. 

C. Olds, 2nd b. 

J. M. Dresser, Jr., 3rd b. 

N. Morrill, c f. 

W. Knight, 1. f. 

R. Lackey, r. f. 

F. HouGHAM, sub. 
By liberal cash subscriptions and attendance at all games, the stu- 
dents have made the eleven a success, and the same backing must be 
given the nine. Purdue has taken the proper initiatory steps by engag- 
ing a good coacher, and putting the players through a stiff course of 
training. 




TENNIS AT PURDUE. 




AWN TENNIS' popularity at Purdue lies 
in the fact that it may be enjoyed 
by the lad}' element of the col- 
lege ; nor are all men so constituted 
that thej- can appreciate a liveh' 
game of base ball, or live through 
even a modest game of modern 
foot ball. 

Lawn tennis has been played 
at Purdue since 1882 ; it was first 
introduced b}' Miss Peck, in- 
structor in Latin, and ever since 
has had a host of admirers and 
energetic participants. Lawn 
tennis is frequentl}' sneered at bj^ those sturdy youths who find more 
pleasure in making a touch-down than eating a Hall supper ; but never- 
theless it supplies a want for exercise to those mind workers whose eyes 
have assumed a leaden hue, and whose muscles are shri^•eled from neglect. 
The game affords a liveh' j'et not a violent exercise, and the wearj- stu- 
dent finds tennis a most acceptable respite from stud}'. 

On bright warm daj'S the campus in front of the Main Building is a 
scene of mirth and interest. Eleven courts are laid out on the smooth 
turf, and the game is indulged in by old and 3'oung, the wise and the sim- 
ple, and occasionall}' beaut}- lingers to enjoy a set. The professor, the 
president and the preps alike succumb to the charms of tennis. 

This has been a remarkable year for tennis, and every month during 
the last vear the balls have been tossed over the nets stretched on the 



green. 



Tennis is given a prestige at Purdue by the patronage of such wise 



./ SOUl'ENIR. 

men as Professors Coulter, Phillips, Creighton, Golden, Arthur, Carmen, 
Turner and Sholl. 

At the tournament held last fall the badge of honor was given to Miss 
Charline McRae.

FIELD DAY AT PURDUE. 



class day, 1887, field da}' athletics 
were introduced at Purdue. To the 
class of 1887, insignificant in numbers, 
the University owes the institution of 
class dayandtheaccompanying athletic 
programme. The first field day was a 
success from a popular standpoint, but 
a disappointment as regards the records 
made. There had been little or no 
training for the different contests, and 
the entire programme was in the nature 
of an experiment. Since then, a great 
interest has been taken, and the sharp- 
est rivalry has existed between classes 
in the fight for honors. Several records 
have been made which approach those 
of professionals. 
If a visitor wishes to see Purdue at its best he should be at the field 
day sports. Class enthusiasum runs high. ■ Class colors flutter from 
hundreds of lapels. Class yells mingle in harmonious discord. And the 
amateur athletes range themselves along the rope and pull like Trojans, 
all for the glory of being carried away on somebody's shoulders.

A NEW VERSION. 




HE shades of night were falling fast, 
Tra la la, Tra la la. 
As up the Chauncey hill there passed, 

Tra la la, la la, 
A verdant Freshman, filled with dread. 
Who faltered as he gazed ahead: 
" Upidee, idee, ida. 
Upidee, upida. 
Upidee, idee, ida. 
Upidee, ida." 

A year passed by, and late one night, 

Tra la la, Tra la la, 
A howling Soph toiled up the height, 

Tra la la, la la, 
He was giving the town a coat of paint, 
And this was the burden of his plaint : 
"Upidee, etc." 



" O, stay," the maiden cried, " and rest, 
Tra la la, Tra la la, 
' ' Your weary head upon this breast. ' ' 

Tra la la, la la. 
But the Junior, climbing up the hill. 
Sent his regrets, and murmured still: 
' ' Upidee, etc. ' ' 



A SOUVENIR. 

Attired in taste and a la mode, 

Tra la la, Tra la la, 
In a motor car the Senior rode. 

Tra la la, la la, 
He knew that he'd leave college soon. 
Yet he gaily chaffed and whistled a tune: 
" Upidee, etc." 

The B. S. to his home returned. 

Tra la la, Tra la la, 
Some scientific facts he'd learned, ■ 

Tra la la, la la, 
He planted potatoes by the rule of three. 
And sadly sang reflectively:

The dorm, and the gas tank, and the en-

With the prompt sim arose the gay pic-

And quick attired themselves in queer,

Some wore the gaudy trappings of mil-

Or else with belts, and few wore galluses ; 
One smoked a pipe, and many cigarettes. 
At the Hall there was a running to and fro, 
Activity was there, but yet no bustle, for 
Picnic costumes are not built that way. 
Upon the floor were baskets heaping full 
Of treacherous salad and large healthy buns. 
And cakes with much red sugar on the top. 
Soon down the gravel walk gay couples sped, 
The one carried a shawl, and he, the other, 
A basket and a parasol, likewise 
A camp stool, camera and a tennis net. 
Upon the steamer's deck, and on the barge, 
Down where the stately skiffs are moored, 
A crowd had soon collected, and they jostled 
About the barrel full of lemonade, and quaffed 
Quite freelj', and made ready for the trip. 
Perhaps an hour, or maybe two, after the time 
Of advertised departure, the plank is drawn, and then 
The voyage is begun. The dagos play a waltz, 
And he who trips only the plain quadrille. 
Sits on the upper deck, and smokes, and rocky feels. 
While his best girl goes through the mazy dance 
With a rival. The waltz strains die away; 
The caller mounts a chair and loudly howls. 
Until his ej^es hang out upon his cheeks, 
And the brash amateur who never danced before. 
Gets in his work, and walks on people's feet. 



A SOUVENIR. 

And stops the dance, and makes the caller mad. 
A Freshman desperado coolly draws 
A small-sized cannon, and proceeds to shoot 
At marks along the shore, and grimly smiles 
When asked to stop before he kills himself. 
Four gay and gidd}^- people may be seen 
Out on the forward deck, engaged in whist, 
Determined each to have a time, and plunge 
Headlong into the wildest dissipation. 
Between the dances, some adventurous fiend. 
Begins with quavering voice, " My Bonnie L,ies " — 
But ere he perpetrates a single line. 
The cries of anguish cut his effort short. 
Before the welcome Black Rock comes to view 
The programme has become informal, quite; 
Some sing, some dance, some don't, some pass the word 
That So-and-So has waltzed with her four times, 
Neglecting in a shameful waj^ the one 
Whose basket he had carried down the hill, 
A hat or two may be lost overboard, and dresses, 
Spotless at starting, are soiled and flecked with soot; 
In fact, the whole assemblage seems to wear 
A mussed-up and a holida}- appearance. 
When the old Russell swings against the bank, 
Under the shadow of the beetling Black Rock, 
The crowd makes haste to go ashore, and climb 
The steepest hills, and tear their clothes, or else 
Collect in groups, and face the glowing sun. 
And have their pictures taken bj^ the " artist." 
'Tis twelve o'clock, and there are cries for food. 
And hunger stamps itself on every face. 
And then the wail goes forth that careless ones 
Have left the ice uncovered, till a ton 
Has melted down to just a few small lumps. 
The lemonade is gone, so four young men, 
Who came along as stags, are started out 
To find a farm house, and some H^O. 
Meanwhile the snowy cloths are spread along 
The ground, and luncheon baskets are unloaded. 
Potato salad, chicken salad, lobster salad, pie, 



A SOUVENIR. 




Ham sandwiches, deviled eggs, veal patties, buns. 

Fig cake, white cake, angel's food, and cookies. 

Sweet pickles, sour pickles, olives — what a spread! 

A swift destruction waits the fair arraj' 

Of tempting eatables, and, it must be said 

That some, half-crazed by hunger, do not act 

As one accustomed to swell dinner parties. 

But if remonstrance should be offered such, 

The information is imparted back, that 

At Soph picnics everything must go. 

The little ants make merry with the rest, 

And crawl about upon the cake, and gorge 

Themselves with sweets, and have a pleasant time. 

The daddy-long-legs interviews the pie. 

And wood-ticks wander up the trousers leg. 

The first to leave the picnic spread are two, 

Who take a hammock with them as they go; 

Disciples of stuckology are they, 

Who fain would shake the balance of the crowd. 

The afternoon goes by, alas, too swiftly, 

And merry are the moments as they fly; 

The varied forms of picnic entertai^iment 

Amuse the people left upon the Russell, 

But a majorit}^ have fled into the forest. 

Far from the picnic crowd's ignoble guys, 

To pluck spring flowers, and spoon on mossy logs. 

'Tis five o'clock too soon, and the bright sun 



A SOUVENIR. 

Which, as aforesaid, tipped with its splendor 

The dorm, and the gas tank, and ,the engine house. 

Now casts benign and rather slanting rays 

Upon the picnic people homeward bound. 

They crowd upon the barge in wild disorder. 

With costumes neglige and hair unkempt. 

With coats ripped up the back, and dresses muddy, 

They sing, and shout, and call for more to eat. 




The puffing Russell battles with the current, 
And seems, at times, to scarcely move at all, 
And when the homeward trip is half completed. 
The darkness shrouds the brave and gallant craft. 
The smoky lanterns cast a gruesome light 
Upon the dancers prancing to and fro, 
And often from some corner dark there come 
The soft and gurgled accents of the mashed. 



A SOUVENIR. 

Heedless of fleeting hours or sand banks dread, 

The devotees of pleasure whoop and howl, 

And load the passing zephyrs with refrains 

Of college songs, or musical class yells, 

And ever}' one regrets to see once more 

The twinkling lights along the eastern bank. 

The wharf is reached, the baskets sorted out; 

With three hoarse cheers, and many fond " good nights," 

The mob disperses, while the steamer's crew, 

Repairs the wreck and ruin left behind. 

With footsteps slow, and rather halting gait, 

Once more the^' wander up the gravel walk; 

The one carries a shawl, and he, the other, 

A basket and a parasol, likewise 

A camp stool, camera and a tennis net. 

He saj's good night, and leaves her at the door. 

And weak and foot-sore dormward takes his way, 

And she cries after him, " O, Mr. Blank, 

I've really had a lovely time to-day." 




WHEN the crisp autumnal zephjas whistle through the leafless 
trees; 
When croquet is a sweet regret and tennis is iion est ; 
When the base ball player staj'S in doors for fear that he will freeze, 

And the picnic trousers get a needed rest; 
When Mackinaws and yellow shoes are packed away with care, 

And the summer sash becomes a muffler gay, 
Then the college foot ball specialist emerges from his lair, 
And buckles up his armor for the fray.

A plunge in icy water then before he eats

He breakfasts on raw steak and toast, and

And works with clubs and dumb bells

He dare not smoke a cigarette nor touch his

UT out of all these hardships and this

There comes a day of triumph for the 
Rugby devotee, 
When on the frozen battle-field, unheed-

He "scrimmages" and "tackles" in 
the hope of victory. 
What though he grinds his features to a 
pulp so raw and gory. 
While the strong and beefy opponents 
are seated on his frame? 
What though he never lives to tell his 
children of the story? 
Though death come with the victory, 
the team must win the game.

And though the hazy landscape swims

He's down within the goal line, and the 
team has won the prize. 
A ton or more of writhing flesh with him is 
mixed together, 
His leg is wrapped around his neck, four 
teeth cannot be found; 
But he has passed into the goal and hangs

He is the hero of the day — he's carried

A compound fracture of the leg, some cuts,

daily goes. 
When he resumes his studies he'll recite each

Next 3"ear, if he's recovered, he will make the 
team the winner 
By going into training — the result will be 
the same. 



FACULTY RECEPTIONS. 



,HE evening mail has come, and with it 
that long expected unsealed envelope. 
The student knows it well, and glad of 
the thought of a little society event to 
vary the monotony of books, he hails 
with delight the coming of the faculty 
reception. Thrice in the history of 
Purdue have such invitations been 
received and thrice have been accepted. 
A faculty reception! "Oh, we've all 
been there befoie, many a time," but on 
this particular occasion we are assured 
of a warm and hearty welcome instead of a 
hot one; and more than one appear before 
the faculty that night. During the 
evenings of these happy events, the two 
dormitories stand vacant and tenantless, 
silent for once. Not a sound is heard, and 
all- forsaken do they seem. But at the 
banquet hall, how different is the scene! 
The soft mellowness of incandescent 
lights is put to shame by the sparkling ej^es of the assembled guests. 
The timid, shrinking Soph who "flunked" but yesterday can scarce 
believe his eyes when greeted by so sweet a smile and so low a bow from 




A SOUVENIR. 

that very same professor. He moves onward soliloquizing that the recep- 
tion committee of to-night will be the discipline committee of to-morrow. 
The evening flies so swiftly by, the hours seem scarceh' minutes, 
until the plaintive air of " Home, Sweet Home" bids the student seek his 
four square walls, to dream sweet dreams, perhaps of the faculty reception. 





RETROSPECTION 



WHEN first with awkward ways and verdant mien, 
The emerald granger, just from home, is seen. 
Closely attached unto an ancient " grip," 
With intent firm of culture's cup to sip; 
We see ourselves as others saw us, once, 
In social rudiments a very dunce. 
We well remember how, with ardor burning. 



A SOUVENIR. 

We leaned against the iron gate of Learning, 

And glancing up the rocky steep of Fame, 

Forthwith resolved that we would mount the same; 

With hay-seed intermingled in our hair, 

With open mouth and idiotic stare, 

With clumsj' gestures and with shambling gait. 

We lumbered onward, searching foi our Fate; 

And having interviewed the " Prex " so stern, 

And numerous professors in their turn, 

We safe impale, on Learning's hook, a bait. 

And drop our line, a real matriculate. 

Our retrospection turns to Freshman daj^s; 

And through the curtain dim of memory's haze 

We see a crowd come rushing into view, 

With yells that far discount the wildest Sioux. 

The " melon-colic " season suits them well, 

And where the eggs go, not a soul can tell; 

At Hallowe'en, when fairies are astir. 

Their pranks surprise Queen Mab, and shame e'en her; 

And ammunition they reserve in store, 

To pester every worthy Sophomore. 

Where'er a chance for eating is allowed. 

The Freshmen always flock there in a crowd; 

And when capacit}' has met its fill 

They load their pockets with a wondrous will — 

A rambling, roaring, raving, raging raft; 

That has a hand in jokes of everj^ craft, 

A genial, hearty crowd the whole da}' long, 

A whole soul in a body stout and strong. 

A noble Sophomore, sedate and wise. 

With might}' learning beaming from his eyes; 

With anxious wile his hook he slowly baits. 

And for conclusions sits him down, and waits; 

A Socrates is he of all his class. 

And reckons every other man an ass. 

With massive head bowed low in mighty thought, 

Deep he will dig for jewels long unsought; 



A SOUVENIR. 

The Senior e'en knows not so mucli as he; 
He oft explains to profs some mystery, 
And scarce can think the living fact is true, 
That this small world is large enough for two. 

The jaunty Junior trips along the green, 

With tie, the like of which has ne'er been seen; 

A stylish hat and slender little cane; 

A collar of which no one can complain. 

Upon his lip a shadow light appears, ■ 

That gives fair promise for the coming years. 

His forte exclusive lieth with the girls, 

And oft to each one he his tongue unfurls; 

His heart is broken many a luckless time. 

And he is melted with a grief sublime; 

Yet he survives it with a wondrous power, 

And starts a new flirtation every hour. 

If maiden coy his .softened heart doth break. 

It leaves no "blasted future" in its wake; 

And so he passes through the Junior year, 

A very gallant youth, a cavalier, 

Our Senior, sturdy, steady, tried and true. 

Now with great majesty heaves into view. 

Before him, lo, he sees, with smiling eyes. 

His sheep-skin; dear, long-looked-for, wished-for prize. 

He peers into the future to decide 

Which art, trade or profession to bestride, 

And with a prospect spread so fair and bright, 

Sees naught of dark, inevitable night. 

The sea of Life is lying broad before; 

What may there be upon the distant shore? 

His barque is lightl}- rocking on the wave 

That may, perchance, but prove the sailor's grave, 

And bows unto the sea, with modest pride, 

Which, rippling, laughing, sparkles at her side; 

And as he notes the signs of dawning day. 

With brave desire he longs to speed awa}'; 

But once he turns with honest, grateful heart, 

Regretful that the time has come to part. 



A SOUVENIR. 

When far in distant lands the students roam; 
When many weary miles from friends and home; 
When care weighs heavy on each manly brow; 
Nor smiles come quickly to the lips, as now; 
When struggling on the battle-field of Life, 
And oft near beaten in the fretful strife; 
A restful feeling comes as we review 
The memories sweet of friends at old Purdue. 



Karl, '85. 





CO-EDUCATION. 



HE question is, "Is co-education a 
success at Purdue ? ' ' Rather. 
Look at the alumni record, and 
see the list of fortunate Bache- 
lors who found wives among 
their classmates. Manj' a Purdue 
man has sat upon the stone steps 
with a fair classmate, the two 
reading from the same book, and, 
as the}' became absorbed in study 
and each other, Cupid stepped 
from behind the hedge and bagged 
both of them. Is co-education a 
success? The idea of asking such 
a question ! 
Yet co-education, with its manifold and obvious advantages, did not 




A SOUVENIR. 

always exist at Purdue. The faculty tried to get along without any 
female adjuncts for a year or two, and then gave it up. The only re- 
markable thing is that they ever tried it at all. Any attempt to throw 
co-education out of the Purdue curriculum would result in a riot. 

You will not find in the Sotivenir any attempt to describe the typical 
Purdue girl. It would be another instance of trying to gild refined gold 
and touch up the lily with water-colors. The editors do not feel equal to 
the task of putting into cold type the myriad traits of her lovable char- 
acter. Our artist, however, has attempted to present a fair likeness of 
her in the initial letter illustration on the preceding page. The picture 
does not flatter her. 

The other illustration, at the top of the page, should not have been 
inserted, as it is a gross libel on the better half, or third, of Purdue. 
The likeness of the typical Purdue man in this illustration is not so bad. 




THE DEADLY MATH 



A Junior sat with his head on his hands, 

In his room not overl}^ clean; 
Not a sound was there save the throb of his heart, 

And the hiss of escaping steam. 

He thought of daj^s in the dim, distant past, 

When a boy, so happy and free. 
He had wandered down by the rippling brook, 

Or had chased the bumble-bee, 

A memory came of his first tender love, 

A maiden of sweet sixteen, 
And a sigh came forth as he thought of that face 

And those beautiful eyes— his queen. 



A SOUVENIR. 

His mind came back from its trip to the past, 
And its course ver}- slowly he checks, 

For before him looms up that accursed of snags. 
The eighth dififere*ntial of x. 

To calculus then he tried to come back, 

But alas! his reason, it fled! 
With a dx here and an integral there, 

I regret to say he was dead.

FTEN we hear it said : "As much 
valor is found in feasting as in fight- 
ing. ' ' Therefore there was much valor 
at Camp J. H. Smart, down in the edge 
of the Wea Plains. This was a camp 
of the Purdue Cadets in May, 1889. 

The amount and ///a!i?ier of the feast- 
ing was really marvelous, especially 
the latter. It is certain that many sur- 
prised themselves with the amount of 
valor developed, displaying an amount 
which would have alarmed their friends at home. This development of a 
latent passion (for pork and beans) was most severe on our very efficient 
commissary, as he was continualh^ compelled to divide himself (or his 
time) between camp and the base of supplies, abovit five miles away, that 
there might be no languishing. But he did it well. When our first supply 
of coffee came to us in the whole bean, he hesitated not, but sallied forth 
to the neighboring peasantr}- and informed them of their country's needs, 
and brought back two coffee mills . The greatest mistake of this expedi- 
tion on the part of the military authorities was in not having closed a 
written contract with Jupiter Pluvius beforehand. For this neglect, old 
Pluvejust tried himself and fairly rained down his maledictions. But 
like true soldiers, what cared they when they had ten-ounce canvas over 
them? But, how Pluve did catch them that Thursday at dinner time, 
when the soldiers i7iust com.& out ! He had been damming up his hoarded

water, and he just with one might}- jerk pulled the plug out ! And that 
opening was verticall}' opposite Camp Smart, and the effect was awful-- 
on the loaded tin plates filled with various ingredients. 

Nevertheless J. P. had to give it up, and on Friday and Saturda}' old 
Sol came out and rejoiced with the valorous 3'ouths below, and all felt 
gocd. Lots of fun was had at target practice, but the little red flag was 
nearly worn out, telling the man with a gun that they had heard him 
shoot, but that the target had escaped with its life. The big guns were 
kept at work, too, pumping iron projectiles at the unoffending slopes in the 
vicinity of the camp. The hills barel}- escaped, and so did the peasant in 
the field bej'ond, where he was plowing, perfectlj^ ignorant of having 
artlessly come into range.

THE DORM, 



"Be it ever so humble," etc. — Old Saw. 




QVi are a reporter for the Souvenir f " 
" Yes, sir." 

' ' And you wish permission to visit 
oViX young men's dormitory ? " 
"If you please, sir." 
"What is the object of your visit, 
may I ask ? ' ' 

' ' I wish to get some interior views 
for insertion in the Soicvejiir, and also 
desire to interview some of the young men 
in regard to the forms of social diversion 
by which they while away their hours." 
" Before I pass upon this matter, it 
will be necessary for me to consult the 
president and faculty. Call around next 
Friday afternoon." 
The disappointed applicant withdrew from the presence of the ' ' pro- 
fessor in charge." Upon the following Friday afternoon he waited in the 
hallway while the faculty considered his application. At the end of an 
hour the following was passed out to him: 



the bearer may visit 
the dorm once. 
Prexy. 



It is only by conforming to this elaborate red-tape system that any 
one, not an occupant of the home for studious young men, can obtain 



A SOUVENIR. 

entrance thereto. Other regulations of the faculty have, at various times, 
been regarded as existing in a Pickwickian sense, but the rule in regard 
to visiting the dorm has always been rigidly enforced. 

The dorm stands at a considerable distance from any other college 
building — a wise provision. It maj^ be approached with safety at any 
time during the summer vacation ; at other times it would be better to 
provide a rubber coat or an umbrella. The building is four stories high, 
and contains about thirty suites of rooms. The architecture of the build- 




ing is of a hybrid nature, a mixture of the adobe and Egyptian schools. 
A view of the exterior affords no intimation of the elegant interior fur- 
nishings. This is why the people who never received a faculty permit 
to go through the building, are inclined to regard the dorm as an insig- 



A SOUVENIR. 

nificant feature of the University. To appreciate the dorm, you must 
inspect it thoroughly. 

Any one desiring to visit an inmate rings at the front door and sends 
up his card. He will usually be admitted, if he has a permit, unless he 




calls during study hours. Entering the front door, you find yourself in a 
large corridor, plainly but elegantly furnished. From this corridor doors 
open to the various suites. Chandeliers are pendent from the frescoed 




ceiling. All the frescoing was done by the students. A broad stairwaj' 
leads to the second landing. There is a continuous stair railing from the 
first floor to the fourth. The stairways and landings are so constructed 



A SOUVENIR. 

that a person leaning over the railing on the fourth floor can accurateh^ 
locate a person on any of the lower floors. This peculiarity of construc- 
tion has given rise to the practice of " hugging the wall." 

The uninitiated man gaily goes up the stairwa}^ three steps at a time 
and makes a sharp turn around the railing. As he does so, he places 
himself in range. If any one above is "laying" for a personal enemj^ 
he may find the temptation too great, and take out his revenge on the 
new man. Besides, he can get more water, if he needs it.

STAINED GLASS WINDOW. 



To describe in detail every apartment of the large building would not 
be advisable, if it were possible. Let us take a tj-pical suite of rooms, one 
by which all may be judged. You are admitted by one of the two occupants 
and step inside. If it is your first visit, you are dazzled. A heavy 
Moquette covers the floor, and you appear to walk upon a carpet of roses. 
A subdued light filters into the room through stained windows partially 
concealed b}- heav}' curtains. Upon the wall are etchings, water-colors 
and portraits of former occupants. The eas}- chairs and a luxurious divan 



A SOUVENIR. 

give an air of comfort to the room, but the hand-carved bookcase in one 
corner, filled with well thumbed volumes, indicates that the occupants do 
not vegetate in idleness. Articles of brie a brae are placed here and 
there, in apparent carelessness, but the general effect is pleasing. Step- 
ping from the reception room into the boudoir, you find upon one side the 
student's couch, covered with its .snowy spread, and upon the other side 
the mirror and dresser and the lavatory. One can not help but exclaim, 
after inspecting the elegant apartments : " Who would not be a student, 
and dwell in the dorm ? " 

The building is divided into two sections, and each side is under the 
supervision of a member of the faculty, but the presence of the professor 
in charge is not often demanded. In the early history of the building 
some of the rooms were used for recitation halls, and several professors 
occupied apartments on the lower floor. The presence of the professors 
was annoying to the students, and the former soon vacated. The dorm is 
a building in which one may spend a pleasant hour, rambling through 
the corridors and looking over the autographs and inscriptions on the 
walls.

EATING CLUBS. 




POET whose name is not recalled, but 
who evidently had heard of the Purdue 
eating clubs, once remarked that: 

Against diseases here the strongest fence 
Is the defensive virtue, abstinence. 

He was right. During the last fif- 
t^n years the Purdue eating clubs have 
never graduated one case of gout. Sev- 
eral 3^oung men band themselves 
together for the purpose of getting cheap 
board. One of the number is selected 
as steward, and it is his dut}^ to see that 
the table is properly supplied. He 
usually does his work well. Can good board be provided at the very 
nominal sum of two dollars per week? Certainl)'. Examine the follow-

THE ANNUALS. 



AND now in behalf of the society allow me to welcome you to this, 
our th annual entertainment. In doing so, I believe I speak 

for every member of our society when I say that we are always 
glad to see our friends, not onlj^ at our annual entertainments, but also at 
our regular meetings. As a society, we feel that the present year has 

been one of great interest and profit to all of us. Emerson says: " 

!" How true this is, as applied to our 

literary work! Here, by our training in debate and parliamentary law we 
are fitting ourselves for the great struggle of life. We are laying the 
foundation for the future. As the poet very aptly says: 



The first on the programme is Mr. , oration, "The Future 

Destiny of ■ . ' ' 

The applause is deafening and the reporter on the front row jots 
down, "a scholarly production well delivered." Then, as the hand- 
clapping dwindles down to a few particular friends of the president, and 
finally dies out, the orator clears his throat, advances his left foot and 
requests us to go back with him a few thousand 5'ears so that we may 
gradually work up to the subject. The spell-binder takes the audience, 
collectively and figuratively, bj' the hand, and leads it around through the 
moss-grown ruins of antiquity, ever and anon explaining why certain 
once powerful nations have ceased to transact business at the old stand. 
This being done, he exposes the Present, and proceeds to examine its pulse, 
respiration and temperature, and makes a diagnosis of the Disease. Then 
he prescribes the Remed}- — Education of the Masses. Then he pauses for 
a moment, lifts his right hand and tears in twain the veil that hides the 
Future. By the aid of his " prophetic vision " he tells us how the people 
a few centuries hence will be free and happ}- and smart, and there will be 
no more strikes, riots, elections, courts or jails. 

The orchestra in the gallery brings the audience back to the rude 
present by rendering some appropriate comic opera music, and the de- 
claimer steps forward in the capacit}^ of thriller. He has rehearsed over 
and over every intonation and gesture, and he is fortunate if the hearers 



A SOUVENIR. 

do not perceive this. The repertoire of the annual declaimer inchides 
"The Raven," " Horatius at the Bridge," "The Polish Boy," The 
Black Horse and His Rider," "The Baron's Last Banquet" and several 
humorous selections. Sometimes he is not up in his delivery, but, as a 
rule, the declamation is well written. The annual essayist is handicapped 
in the contest for honors; he has no chance to work in dramatic effects, 
figurative red lights. At the same time, he never breaks down in the 
middle of some high-flown apostrophe, as manj' an orator has done. 

The reception succeeds the entertainment. The audience follows the 
eight literati mX-o the society hall, and offers congratulations. The proper 

form is, " Mr. , allow me to congratulate you. Your was 

the best thing of the evening."

THEY may talk of love in a cottage, 
Aud bowers of trellised vine, 
And nature bewitchingly simple, 
And milkmaid half divine; 
They may talk of the pleasures of sleeping 

In the shade of a spreading tree. 
And a walk in the fields at morning. 
By the side of a footstep free. 

But give me a sly flirtation 

By the light of a chandelier, 
At the Boarding Hall of the college, 

And no third person near; 
Or a seat on that silken sofa — 

Great heavens ! who could decline? 
When there's nobody there to discover 

That small white hand in mine.

THE COLLEGE WIDOW. 



-V 



HEN I was but a Freshman — and that 
was long ago — 
I saw her first, but did not learn her 
name; 
She was at a lecture, I believe, 4n the 
first or second row. 
And the Junior with her seemed to be 
her flame. 
He held her fan all evening and gazed 
into her eyes; 
Thought I, "Now, they're engaged, or 
soon will be;" 
But afterward they quarreled, as I learned 
with some surprise, 
When the faculty conferred on him 
G. B. 

That^very spring a rumor in the college 
circles spread. 
That a Senior had her young affections snared. 
And after he had graduated, then the two would wed; 

'Twas even said her trousseau was prepared. 
But this was surely a canard; when I returned next fall. 

She had a young professor on the string; 
He used to send her flowers, and frequently would call, 
And kindly turn her music when she'd sing. 




•'•' ' mill iTr 



A SOUVENIR. 

The prof received an offer from some college in the east, 

And left quite unexpectedly one day ; 
Within a week the charmer wasn't grieving in the least, 

When I saw her with a Freshman at the play. 
She had a gay flirtation with a special, taking art; 

I went with him to call, one Sunday night; 
He kindly introduced me, then I played a villain's part, 

For I made a mash, and knocked him out of sight.

O, charming college widow, I never can forget 

The night when you put on my college pin; 
I pressed your hand and told you that the act you'd not regret. 

And you said you'd stick to us through thick and thin. 
I remember still the picnics and that moonlight promenade, 

Just the night before I paid for my degree. 
When we interchanged such sacred vows, and declarations made 

That we'd love each other through eternity. 

I heard from you quite often; I liked your letters, too; 

They were spicy, and chuck full of college news; 
But the interval between them soon became a month or two. 

And our courtship seemed its interest to lose; 
I didn't write for full three months, and one day I received. 

By express, collect, each love-sick billet doicx, 
And though I swore that I had been both jilted and deceived, 

I returned your letters, paid the charges too ! 



I^ast commencement I revisited the scenes of college life; 

Six years had brought about a wondrous change. 
I knew a few professors who were glad to meet my wife. 

But the students all seemed out of place and strange. 
There was little to recall to me the olden time so sweet. 

And so it was a pleasure, you may know. 
At the field-day exercises, unexpectedly to meet 

An acquaintance of the happy long ago. 






A SOUVENIR. 

She looked but little older, her laugh was just as gaj^; 

Beside her was a gallant Sophomore, 
Who held her parasol aloft and gushed the self-same way 

That I had doubtless done in days of yore. 
I merely tipped m}' hat; I feared to introduce my wife, 

For I knew that some remark might lightlj- fall, 
Revealing to my better half a chapter of my life, 

Which I'd rather she should not suspect at all. 








THE MAIDEN'S PRAYER. 

"He is brave and young and handsome; 

Spare his life, for it would seem 
We will need him on the rush line, 

When we play the Butler team." 




A DAY DREAM. 




''THE LA GRIPPE." 




'■"-^• 



AM not hypercritical on points of 
punctuation ; 
A misplaced comma now and then 
is surely not a sin ; 
I overlook the sundry breaks of com - 
mon conversation, 
And only wince a little when a 
" have saw " edges in ; 
To wretched double negatives some 
friends are much addicted, 
They knife the good King's Eng- 
lish, and revel in its gore ; 
These queer idiosjmcrasies are never 
contradicted, 
For I would not seem pedantic or 
appear a learned bore. 



But, 



The whiskered proverbs tell us — and I know they tell us truly — 
That forbearance as a virtue cannot always be construed; 

And the camel's dorsal vertebrse, if weighted down unduly. 

Will sustain a compound fracture with a fatal promptitude. 
And, 

When a college maiden, intellectual and charming, 

Sends me a little perfumed note, regretful in its tone, 

20 



A SOUVENIR. 

" To learn that all your symptoms are especially alarming, 

And. the doctor fears that the ' /a grippe ' has claimed 5'ou for 
its own ' ' ; 

Then, 
I howl and curse a little, and I stamp upon the letter, 

And I boil with indignation to think that anj- one, 
Who long has studied French, should not, apparently, know better 

Than to write it " f/ie la grippe,'' when but one "the" would 
have done. 
A break like this affects me in a manner almost fatal, 
'Tis worse than the '' la grippe'' 

(The above unfinished poem was recently found among the effects of 
a young man who had committed suicide, for some unknown reason. 
This publication may throw some light upon his motive. Perhaps he 
could not find a word to rhyme with " fatal," or perhaps he was shamed 
to desperation upon discovering that he had committed the common error 
of calling it ' ' the la grippe. ' ' )

" I'd hunt up a dictionary." 



A SOUVENIR. 
HOW THE ' ' EXPONENT ' ' IS MADE. 

First Local Editor. — " Well, what can we put in this month ? Have 
you worked the Purdue notes in the city papers ? ' ' 

Second Local Editor. — "Yes, and I haven't half enough stuff. I 
believe, for a change, I will write an article advocating a gymnasium at 
Purdue." 

F. L. E. — "That's good ; I have a long clipping from an Indian- 
apolis paper, and we can use that. ' ' 

5". L. E. — " I will mention that the roads are muddy, and that the 
street car service is unsatisfactory. Have you taken any notes this 
month ? ' ' 

F. L. E. — " No, I have been too busy. Oh, we'll fill out the space 
some way. I can crib some alumni items out of old issues." 

SHADES OF WILHELM MEISTER! 

Miss B. (after German recitation). — "Oh, girls, I know this German 
will be just lovely when we get far enough along to read that story about 
Mister Will Helm." 



I NEED SOME BOOKS. 

Paterfamilias. — "Ah, my boy, welcome home. So you are now a 
full-fledged Senior ? I have learned with gratification of your successful 
year, and, to show ray appreciation, I have built an L to the house so 
that you will have room to store the large number of books you have pur- 
chased this 3^ear. ' ' 



THE POETESS LAUREATE. 

Hall Girl {ivriting poem). — " Can you think of a word to rhyme with 
' pain ' ? " 

Second Hall Girl. — " ' Blame ' ; how would that do ? " 

H. G. — " lyOvely; thanks awfully. Now I want something to rhyme 
with ' willow.' " 

5. H. G^.—" That's easy ; 'widow.'" 

H. G. — "How stupid I am to-night ! " 



A SOUVENIR. 
BEYOND REDEMPTION. 

{Corner of Seveyith and Columbia streets.) 
First Bachelor Prof. — "Is marriage a failure ? " 
Chorus of B. P's. — "Well, it hasn't been with us, has it, boys?" 
{All dig each other' s ribs.) 

HE KNEW CARLYLE. 

Rural Visitor {inspecting society hall). — "Whose picture is that?" 

Prof.—'' That is Carlyle." 

R. l\ — " You don't say ? He's older than I took him to be. Well, 
that man is sharp as lightning and a good Democrat, but he came mighty 
near being downed this last election."
